Artist Residency
Atelier Apart’s artist residency, launched in 2022, aims to promote professional art opportunities for NDG-based artists and to increase the local community’s access to fine arts. Artists in residence are offered a studio in which to work and have the opportunity to exhibit their final projects in a local exhibition space. During their residencies, artists host open studios and lead free workshops for NDG residents, sharing their skills with the community.
The Atelier Apart artist residency program is a project of the NDG Arts & Culture Table supported by Maison de la culture NDG and Notre-Dame-des-Arts.
2024 Artists in Residence
The 2024 NDG Atelier Apart Artist Residency was planned in collaboration with the Maison de la Culture NDG. Jury members for this year’s selection were Michelle Caron-Pawlowsky, Lelia Sfeir (Maison de la culture NDG), Robert Dufour (Maison de la culture NDG), Caroline Ariane Bergeron (Atelier Apart artist in residence 2023) and Hea R. Kim (Atelier Apart artist in residence 2023). Eleven artists applied and three were selected. We believe the very specific working conditions of this year’s residency resulted in a slight drop in applications.
The 2024 artists in residence were Maria Ezcurra, Allegra Hu, and G. Scott MacLeod. The artists turned the Maison de la culture NDG Monkland Gallery into an open studio space in October and made a group exhibition in November. Throughout the residency, their gallery/studio was open to the public and they facilitated various art workshops for the general public.
2023 Artists in Residence
Caroline Ariane Bergeron est une artiste en arts visuels montréalaise. Suite à l’obtention de son baccalauréat en arts visuels à l’Université Concordia en 2013, elle a suivi de nombreuses formations spécialisées, principalement en céramique, en arts imprimés et en construction textile. Ses oeuvres allient des techniques traditionnelles des métiers d’art et sont teintées d’un souci du travail manuel appliqué et bien exécuté. Elle préconise des méthodes de travail lentes, préférant les technologies analogiques à leurs équivalents contemporains, et une élaboration consciencieuse, en réaction au rythme de travail accéléré que prescrit l’idéologie de croissance de la vie d’aujourd’hui. À travers notamment la sculpture, l’installation, l’art imprimé et le livre d’artiste,elle aborde les thèmes du language, de l’intimité et de la résilience.
